Stop sending (potentially) embarrassing emails

It’s late at night, you’ve been working hard, you’re stressed, you’ve had a bit (OK, quite a lot) to drink. You’ve set-up the scene for sending one of ‘those’ emails. Could be to that person in accounts you’ve been flirting with, or worse (in terms of how to handle the fallout and damage limitation) it could be a full-blown ‘Jerry MacGuire’ moment – a ‘mission statement’ to the entire company.

How many times have you clicked ’send’ and regretted it?

Luckily, those clever people at Google have come up with a solution: Mail Goggles.

Only if you are compos mentis (i.e sober or calm enough) and able to answer some mental arithmetic within a time limit will googlemail allow you to send the message. Now, if only they had this for Apple Mail…
